2 shot to death in Toledo

Men killed on city’s east, west sides 3 hours apart

The deaths occurred as a result of separate shootings barely three hours apart, one in East Toledo and one in West Toledo.

While authorities said the deaths appear to be unrelated, they also don’t rule out the possibility of a connection.

The first shooting was reported at 1:12 a.m. at Greenwood and Walden avenues in East Toledo.

Michael Macklin, Jr., 20, was shot while in the driver’s seat of his car while he was trying to flee others who may have gotten into an altercation with him at a downtown Toledo drinking establishment, Detective Bob Schroeder said.
